Inventory Adjustments

The AV Mobile Inventory Adjustment process is intended for the Warehouse Management team to be able to adjust inventory quantities remotely. When an adjustment is made, the system will automatically create Inventory Maintenance transactions to account for the adjustment. See below for the types of adjustments.

  • Count:
    • A user COUNTS the total number of units on-hand. The system will compare the count quantity vs. the quantity on-hand in the count warehouse and will automatically create the appropriate add or draw adjustment.
      • If the count results in a draw, inventory will be drawn on a FIFO basis (i.e. taken from the oldest existing lot(s)).
      • If the count results in an add, inventory will be added to a brand new lot.
    • The add or draw will be made against the *External Inventory Adjustment* account.
  • Scrap:
    • A user enters a quantity of existing inventory to dispose of as SCRAP and the system creates the adjustment.
    • Inventory will be drawn on a FIFO basis (i.e. taken from the oldest existing lot(s)).
    • The draw will be made against the *Scrap Default* account.
  • Add:
    • A user enters a quantity to ADD to stock and the system creates the adjustment.
    • Inventory will be added to a brand new lot.
    • The add will be made against the *External Inventory Adjustment* account.
  • Draw:
    • A user enters a quantity to DRAW from stock and the system creates the adjustment.
    • Inventory will be drawn on a FIFO basis (i.e. taken from the oldest existing lot(s)).
    • The draw will be made against the *External Inventory Adjustment* account.

*All of the G/L accounts referenced above can be found by navigating to Administration -> System Setup -> Inventory & Marketing.*
